As you are aware St. Paul’s Afrikan Caribbean Carnival is in a transitionary period. In order for us to effectively deliver the Carnival activities for the 50th Anniversary of St. Paul’s Afrikan Caribbean Carnival in 2018, we are actively recruiting for voluntary board members who will work in partnership with the newly formed CIC (Community Interest Company) to co-produce these events.

Over the past 49 years, St. Paul’s Carnival has promoted the advancement of education, appreciation and practice of Afrikan and Caribbean arts, culture and history.Through a range of countdown events including mas camps and schools workshops, St Pauls Carnival crescendos into an explosion of colours, sounds, food, dancing and entertainment attracting over 90,000 revellers from the city of Bristol and beyond.

Being part of St Pauls Carnival Board you will play an integral role in delivering Carnival as well as having the opportunity to discuss widening the Afrikan and Caribbean heritage of St Pauls Carnival throughout the UK.

There will be a vibrant Carnival style procession on Sunday 25 October at 3pm. The procession will take place around Bristol’s Portway and Cumberland Basin and will feature music and dancing of black origin. The Portway will be closed for the Portway’s Sunday Park series of events. The procession is part of a fundraising campaign for the Carnival and also marks 50 years of the Race Relations Act and the UN Decade of People of African Descent.

The procession will feature carnival costumes in tribute to Barbara Dettering, Owen Henry and Roy Hackett – three of the founding members of the 1968 St Pauls Afrikan Caribbean Carnival, who were also instrumental in the Bristol Bus Boycott. The float will play a variety of music of black origin (MOBO) and showcase local talent and Carnival Academy stars Phresh Boiiz plus special guests.

DJ Mvrchesi will supply an eclectic blend of music including House, Garage, Hip Hop and Grime.

The float will lead out by sound system Roots Inspiration starting at Cumberland Basin Piazza at 3pm travelling North up the Portway before making a U turn at Bridge valley road. Float decoration will take place at 1.30pm as well as a run through of the moves.

“ This event will launch a series of crowd funding events and initiatives. I hope the support is there in terms of both audience and donations. I am looking forward to marking these key dates and celebrating Carnival style.”
